To ensure faithful transmission of low-copy plasmids to daughter cells, these plasmids must replicate once per cell cycle and distribute the replicated DNA to the nascent daughter cells. RepABC… (More)

Conjugative plasmids generally encode proteins that block the conjugative entry of identical or similar plasmids into the host cell, a phenomenon known as entry exclusion. Here, we demonstrate that… (More)

Vegetative replication and partitioning of many plasmids and some chromosomes of alphaproteobacteria are directed by their repABC operons. RepA and RepB proteins direct the partitioning of replicons… (More)
